It’s important to my family
that I work safely.
We often hear people say, “If I die, I die. You
have to go sometime.” This is a true statement. We
all die sometime. What many people fail to realize
when saying this, is that they will not be the only
person who is affected by their death. Go to any
funeral and you will see how many people are
affected a loved one’s death. When people make
statements like that, especially if they have young
children who are counting on them, I get angry and
think they are very selfish.
Spouses and children count on their mothers and
fathers to make it home after work. I’ve attended
many workplace fatalities. They are sad. The
person who got killed woke up and went to work just
like any other day, but this day something went
wrong and now that person will never go home again.
Imagine the spouse and children waiting for their
loved one to come home,
and then a police officer and co-worker showing up
to give them the bad news. Lives are instantly
devastated.
Yes, it is important to your family that you make it
home safely after work. Your family is counting on
it.

House
Party Gone Bad
A house party turned bad when the
fireworks were set off. A Roman Candle dislodged itself and began to spin.
It stopped with the lit end pointing at the house. Sparks fell onto the old
Christmas tree that was stored under the deck. The house burned to the
ground. Fortunately, no one was hurt. The blaze caused $500,000 damage.
Telemarketer
Saves Hiker
A hiker was stranded in the Andes in
South America. He found himself in a blizzard so he tried to call for help
on his cell phone. To his horror, he found out his prepaid minutes on his
phone were up. He was on the verge of freezing to death after spending
twenty-four hours without shelter when his phone rang. It was a telephone
solicitor calling to remind him he was out of minutes. He was rescued.

Safety In
Tough Times
Times have been tough! With
the way the economic situation has been lately and with the layoffs that
have happened, it's easy to understand how a person can lose their focus
especially when it comes to safety.

safety but maybe you have other problems such as a sick child at home or
other personal problems. This 9 minute video will point out no matter what
is happening in you life, you still have to make safety the top priority.
